ALD Overview

This process creates coatings on an atomic layer by layer basis. ALD works especially nicely for the most miniature of parts and components, as you can control the application down to nearly an atomic layer.

Since ALD can use many different substances in the process, it’s essential to choose a safe, effective treatment for the composition of your assembly. HZO’s in-depth knowledge of these materials and application techniques will help determine the most useful approach in applying a stable, protective covering for any PCBA.

When treating microcircuits and nanocircuits, atomic layer deposition conformal coatings offer the necessary precision for the job. With many material combinations available, there’s unparalleled flexibility for meeting the performance specifications you need. This variety makes the costs differ widely as well. We recommend consulting with our engineers to determine what’s right for your application needs and business purposes.

ALD can take longer intervals to make these layers and complete the process, but enhancements with plasma help.
